Chlorophylls mainly absorb light of which wavelength?
Correct answer: E. Both C and D
- A. Red blue
- B. Yellow orange
- C. Violet red
- D. Orange red
- E. Both C and D
Explanation
Chlorophyll mainly absorbs light in the violet-blue and orange-red wavelengths, which are crucial for the process of photosynthesis. While options A, B, C, and D each contain elements of light that chlorophyll can absorb, they do not accurately reflect the comprehensive absorption spectrum of chlorophyll. Therefore, the correct answer is option E, which indicates a group of options that may include misleading elements. It's essential to remember that chlorophyll reflects green light, which is why plants appear green, as it is not effectively absorbed.

About Bioenergetics
Cellular respiration explains how cells release energy from glucose through glycolysis, the link reaction, Krebs cycle and electron transport chain. It includes ATP production, substrate-level and oxidative phosphorylation, aerobic versus anaerobic respiration, and the roles of mitochondria, oxygen and fermentation in energy transfer.
